Long forgotten light warms me
Ice leaves on chilled wing

30) Grandmother had very fine hair, it was as soft as baby hair. When she came to live with us before she died, I put her hair up in curlers and was shocked by the softness of it. It wasn’t thin, just baby fine.
31) Later in life, when her hair was becoming a bit dull and grey, she said that when she looked in the mirror, she still saw raving red hair.
32) She worked for a short time as a telephone operator – the kind that connected calles by plugging wires into a call-board.
33) Her husband’s name was Clark Reedy. Her maiden name was Gibbs and she was raised around Hauser Lake Washington.
34) She grew up in the depression and her family was very poor.
35) She had three brothers: Elton, Leslie (Les) and her little brother Roy (Zip).
11 – I am easily inspired. Silly, but true. I am one of those people who actually get a charge out of conferences and such. I really want to be the best person I can be.
12 – I love to read. I usually have a stack of books at my bedside ready to take on. I also love series books. There is nothing better to me than to sink into a good series. I actually have a grieving period when the books are over.
13 – I live in a small town and still have close friends from elementary school. Some of my best friends I have been friends with since we were five.
14 – I was the first female fire fighter in my town. I love a good fire.
15 – I want to live at the beach someday. I LOVE the Oregon beach and have been going there since I was a little girl.
